Ctrl+F5 doesn't clear the cache, I guess that it could be described as "reload the page without cache", but after the main scripts are loaded, I guess that anything additional might not be aware of that loading state and uses the normal cache, so for example a XHR request or maybe even a <script> element created on the fly will behave as usual.
The best way to clear the cache is to use Ctrl+Shift+Supr and then check there the "cache" option leaving the rest cleared. That has always worked fine for me. And of course, this behavior isn't related to Firebug.
